Mari Vanna

🥟 The best thing about this Russian restaurant Mari vanna is the dumplings. The honey cake recommended on 🍠 is very moist and I like it very much, but it's too sweet. It tastes the same as the baked buns and Chinese pan-fried buns:) 🎵While eating, I happened to encounter a live music. The beautiful sister sang very well.

This is a small Russian restaurant that serves traditional Russian dishes. Cheese is used a little more frequently, Russian peppers are not too spicy, and the onions taste pretty good. The shop front is small and fresh.

I first found this restaurant on Google and followed the navigation. The location was quite accurate. It is in a very local alley with a cute storefront. When you enter the door, there will be a grandfather to welcome you to change clothes. The interior of the restaurant is not big, more like coming to a local friend's house, with retro European decorations and small tables and chairs. We went there at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It was not meal time and the queue had not started yet. We ordered classic Russian dishes. The borscht was served in a small pot. The boy would pour the soup into the bowl in front of you. The soup had a rich taste of meat that had been boiled for a long time, but it was not greasy. The steak was originally thought to be a small piece, but it was very thick. The welldown was not old, and it was still tender and juicy. The Russian dumplings were purely for the sake of trying, but I felt that there was nothing special about them. The dumplings should also be machine-made. There is an English menu in the store, and the waiter can communicate in English without any obstacles. In general, the taste is very good, and it is a very local experience!

The waiter was friendly and even tried to search a few items on the menu to try to explain what was what. Other than that the food was great and I really enjoyed my meal there. Since I don't know Russian the waiter assigned someone who spoke English to take my order and answer my questions about Russian food.

Once inside we were seated and the menu had some nice Russian choices. We enjoyed the baked mushroom pie, a pie, and the delicious porcini pickles to start which went really well with the grilled buckwheat groats chicken. They have a nice wine list which we also enjoyed. The staff was professional but a little cool.

I had a great meal of cherry dumplings and I'm sure I'll be back. I'm Russian but never been to a real Russian restaurant and this was my first experience and it was amazing! If you want to eat Russian food, this is a must.
